A wonderfully fresh, bright and layered nose reflects notes of cool red and black cherry, plum, violet, lavender, earth and a subtle, but not invisible, touch of wood. There is notably more volume and mid-palate concentration to the relatively supple medium weight plus flavors that tighten up noticeably on the dusty, balanced and exquisitely persistent finish where a hint of bitter cherry pit surfaces.

From the same source as the 1er Cru Monts Luisants. This is the first vintage for Cossard to produce this cuvée Les Champs de la Vigne. Seductive and complex aroma of ripe fruits and spices with fine minerals. Remarkable transparancy. Enjoyable right now and obviously it has long life.
